I stumbled upon El Indio yesterday during my morning walk. I noticed the crowds and the extensive menu and decided to give it a try. What a treat! What a wonderful experience! Darryl at the counter made me feel like I was the only person in the room, despite being in the middle of the lunch rush and the fast pace of any successful business. Not only were the carnitas excellent, but Darryl stopped by twice to ask how I was doing. This in a counter serve restaurant! I also want to mention how Darryl and associates went out of their way to customize my lower carb lunch and keep it "on diet." Many of you know this can be a challenge in a Mexican restaurant, but they kept it simple, friendly, and delicious! Thank you for a great memory of San Diego. And no, I didn't eat the chips! ;)
This gem is a must when visiting San Diego! They have something for every taste, and it's all good! I love the flauta plate, you get 3 flautas covered with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, soooo good!! They make their tortillas fresh and their house-made chips has this seasoning that keeps you coming back! You can dine inside or like we opted, outside in their little old school patio area across the street. ❤️
San Diego at its best GO PADRES! There’s plenty of baseball left and we will keep the Friar Faith! As a dedicated San Diegan, I also follow tradition & invest in our roots. It’s also freaking unbelievably delicious. El Indio NEVER FAILS ME. The quality of the food met with the friendliness of the house, let’s go. Now. Right now. It’s a staple of our San Diegan culture & history. It’s a loving monument to who we are. Come to this place and live past, present and future. El Indio has been around since 1940. Not leaving anytime soon.
